Jackie Robinson was born in Cairo Georgia in 1919. He came from a family of sharecroppers. At UCLA, Jackie became the first athlete to win varsity letters in four sports: baseball, basketball, football and track. In 1945, Jackie played one season in the Negro Baseball League, traveling all over the Midwest with the Kansas City Monarchs.Brooklyn Dodgers president Branch Rickey approached Jackie about joining the Brooklyn Dodgers. The Major Leagues had not had an African-American player since 1889, when baseball became segregated. He had become National League Rookie of the Year with 12 homers, a league-leading 29 steals, and a .297 average. In 1949, he was selected as the NL's Most Valuable player of the Year and also won the batting title with a .342 average that same year. As a result of his great success, Jackie was eventually inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. By: Craig S.
1) The person that is being interviewed in this passage is Sallie Smith. 2)Sallie Smith was a farmer during this time period. 3)Sallie Smith was in her 60’s (we don’t know her exact age because after 60 she did not want to celebrate her birthdays anymore.), female and she was white.
4)Sallie was interviewed in Burksville, Alabama, in Lowndes, County. 5)The date of the interview is December 1938. 6)Mrs. C. W. Higgins gave this interview.
Sallie Smith was a very lonely old woman. She lived in Burksville Alabama in the Lowndes County. She was in her 60s but I’m not sure of her exact age because after 60 she stopped celebrating her birthdays. She worked on a farm and sold her vegetables and other products at a curb market which is located in Montgomery. The market was used so that women that farmed could get their products shown and sold. Sallie liked getting to the markets early so their products are fresh. “We get ready one day and work late into the night and often make a sunrise start. We must get there very early, so our vegetables, flowers, etc., will be fresh. Also because the shoppers come early so as to buy something for dinner.” So if anyone gets there late they will get the “leftovers” and the other foods that are not fresh. Sallie pays a monthly fee including 10¢ every time she uses it. “It’s mighty hard work, but I want the money and I have to live.” She was a very diligent worker. During road work she also sold gravel which summed the depression for her and it became better from there. Sallie is called the “outworkingest” woman anyone had ever had seen. I believe that Sallie overall had a tough life and was very independent when it came to work because her husband had little knowledge of farm work. by Joshua Bartosiewicz

Mrs. Hardy was a very good-looking woman who had a husband and four kids. Her husband lived with her, while her three boys, Jack, Dick, and Paul, were off in the north seeking their own careers. Her only daughter, Phyllis, had just gotten married. Mrs. Hardy stated that the house seemed very lonely and empty with just two people living in it. So, she decided she'd turn it into a tourist's inn. "We were hard pressed financially, and for the first time in my life I seemed to have time on my hands. I was seeking some new interest, something which would pay." she said. She rented out her three bedrooms and picked up a little bit of extra money. The plan was carried out well for a while, with there being only one unpleasant incident. This was when her neighhbor became unhappy with the competition, and put a colored boy outside of Mrs. Hardy's house, directing the tourists to her own home. Soon, Mrs. Hardy purchased the lot next door to have more bedroom space for her tourists.
